It's there for YOU when YOU need it, too. If you're lucky, you won't ever
need SSI disability - and that should be considered a
good thing, not some kind of screw. And everyone who can work pays in - so if they collect, how do you see it as YOUR money, and not theirs? We're all fucking in it together.
Life is unpredictable, and can be very cruel. Don't think "it" can't happen to you. You never know when you can end up very down on your luck. That's what these programs are for - to provide at least
some protection.
